How to Sew a Hole in Jeans
Trim away the excess thread around the edges of the hole to make it easier to sew the hole closed and reduce the visibility of the seam.
Measure across the hole and add 1 inch (2.5cm) to each measurement to ensure you have 0.5 inches (1.3cm) of fabric going past the edge of the hole. Use a serger or pinking shears to sew around the edges of the patch so it doesn’t fray. If you want the patch to be hard to see, use denim that’s just a little lighter than the jeans.
